Netherlands extradites 2 genocide suspects to Rwanda

KIGALI- An official says two Rwandan men accused of participating in the 1994 genocide against Tutsis have arrived in Kigali, Rwanda, following their extradition from the Netherlands.

 

The suspects -- Jean-Claude Iyamuremye, 40, and Jean Baptiste Mugimba, 57 -- were handed over Saturday to Rwandan authorities by Dutch officials at Kigali International Airport.

 

Richard Muhumuza, Rwanda's prosecutor-general, told The Associated Press in Kigali that the suspects are considered to have played a key role in the Rwandan genocide, in which over 800,000 ethnic Tutsis and moderate Hutus were killed by Hutu extremists.
